Design Your Own Monster with Alex Foulkes! - Nottingham

Alex Foulkes was born in smoky Stoke-on-Trent and grew up in the Staffordshire Moorlands. She has a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing. As a kid, she spent much of her time reading in her school library; as a grown-up, she now loves visiting school libraries and talking about everything books!
Apart from reading and writing stories, Alex’s favourite hobbies include lurking in the shadows, hanging upside-down from ceilings, and hissing at the sun. She still lives in the Moorlands, in a town that seems to be foggy for three-quarters of the year.

This event is part of Waterstones Nottingham Children’s Gala which is taking place from Saturday 28th March to Sunday 5th April. Why not check out the rest of our events?

Did you know that 2026 is the National Year of Reading? A Department for Education initiative, in collaboration with The National Literacy Trust, the campaign aims to tackle the profound decline in reading enjoyment in the UK and reconnect people of all ages with reading as a relevant and immediately rewarding activity. Our children’s gala is one of the ways in which we are helping to encourage a love of reading! Find out more at National Year of Reading 2026 | National Literacy Trust
